"Your Majesty, Yumen Pass has sent an urgent report. The Tubo army has plundered the territory several times. Will it increase its troops?"

Li Shimin took the military newspaper and sighed with a sad look on his face.

The Tang Dynasty was poor, and it was already difficult for the people to make a living. Li Shimin felt depressed, it was difficult!

Li Tai came to Jingyang, searched around and finally found Li Zheng in the field.

"Li Zheng, what are you doing?" Li Tai asked.

"Come and help me put all these potatoes into the bamboo basket." Li Zheng said.

Although he didn't know what potatoes were, Li Tai still helped Li Zheng sort out the potatoes.

There were many people in the field packing potatoes, throwing them out of the soil one by one and putting them into bamboo baskets.

After packing up these potatoes, the granary in the village will be filled with stuff. If there is not enough granary, there will be a few more constructions.

Li Tai asked with a potato in his hand, "Can this thing be eaten?"

"Why can't I eat it anymore? I'll make you French fries." Li Zheng returned home with a basket of potatoes.

Heat the pot and add some lard, and start frying the potatoes slowly.

Li Tai sat aside and said, "My father asked me to ask you why you didn't go to the court to be an official."

"Not interested." Li Zheng said.

"Then what are you interested in?" Li Tai asked again.

Li Zheng picked up the fries from the pot with chopsticks and said, "Actually, I have a nickname called the infrastructure maniac. I am interested in infrastructure."

"Life in this world is nothing more than fame, wealth and wealth, and what is infrastructure."

Li Zheng handed a stack of fries to Li Tai, "Eat it."

Li Tai picked up the somewhat hot fries and ate them in his mouth, "This one is delicious."

"When the tomatoes are ripe, it will taste better when they dip them in tomato sauce." Li Zheng said.

After ate one of the fries on the plate clean after a few bites, Li Tai asked, "Is there any?"

"It's gone, I have to make it myself." Li Zheng said.

Li Tai was still a little unsatisfied, "I went to see my father this time, and the father looked very angry."

"Is that so? He didn't kill his relatives for justice?"

"How is it possible? I'm not yet at the level of being ruthless."

Li Tai in history has indeed not reached the point of being rebellious. In other words, he was just demoted after he was eager to try.

In the late period of Zhenguan, all of Li Shimin's sons were causing his rebellion.

Li Zhengyu said to him earnestly: "Actually, there will be many people who will make your father's rebellion in the future, and there will be no more than you."

Li Tai smiled and said, "How is that possible."

"You will understand in the future." Li Zheng sighed: "Sometimes, being decisive is not a bad thing. Opportunities are right in front of you, just like your father, seize the opportunity and accomplish things in one go."

Li Tai knew that what Li Zheng was implying about Xuanwu Sect.

"Don't talk about this, this matter is a taboo. Besides, I won't be as tiring and troublesome as you said."

"If you become the emperor, I won't have to be urged by your father to become an official all day long."

"That's really a bargain for you." Li Tai sneered.

"You're welcome."

"I don't want to rebel, if... is it."

"I don't want to be an official either. Chang'an is too dangerous."

Sure enough, the moral values ​​of the two are on the same level.

Rebellion is risky.

Be cautious when you are an official.

Just hit it off, drink and eat meat.

With the wine and meat on the table, Li Tai said, "It turns out that life is better here."

"The only way to relieve worries is to eat meat." Li Zheng also said.

Hurry up the meal, Cheng Chumo said in a hurry: "Do you know? Something happened in Yumen Pass."

After saying that, Cheng Chumo sat down and started eating without hesitation.

Cheng Chumo and Li Tai are really addicted to eating and drinking, right?

Li Tai said while eating, "Your pork is really good. I will ask the mansion to prepare a little next time."

After the meal, Cheng Chumo said to Li Zheng: "Tubo attacked Yumen Pass, and many generals in the court asked for battle."

Li Zheng ate peanuts and said, "Please give me ten thousand hearts. The bird does not lay eggs in Yumenguan, and the village does not come in front of the village and the shops behind him. Songtsen Gampo would not think about attacking there."

"Why." Cheng Chumo asked again.

Looking at the sky, Li Zheng said, "Think about how many soldiers and horses you need to capture the next Yumen Pass."

"At least 60,000." Cheng Chumo replied.

"That's all. Sixty thousand soldiers are just sixty thousand mouths. It's not that easy to attack Yumen Pass. The terrain is unfavorable and there is no water source around. It's thankless to attack Tubo's attack there. He wouldn't be so stupid to attack Yumen Pass."

"Then where do you think they will attack?" Cheng Chumo asked.

Li Zheng smiled deeply, "They can't attack anywhere."

"Then what did they do to harass the border?"

The alcohol was slightly raised, and Li Zheng took a sip of cold water and said to him: "Now what Tubo Songtsen Gampo is not coveting Yumen Pass. Even if he attacked Yumen Pass, where will the Tubo army go to replenish supplies?"

"What you said makes sense." Cheng Chumo nodded.

Li Zheng said again: "What Tubo wants is Tuyuhun's territory. This time Tuyuhun needs to prepare to attack the Tang Dynasty is the time for Songtsen Gampo."

"The so-called harassment of Yumen Pass was just a suspicious plan of Songtsen Gampo. What he really hoped was that Tuyuhun would invade Liangzhou, and harassing Yumen Pass was just to disperse troops from the court to rush to assist Yumen Pass, waiting for Tuyuhun to tear a hole. If Tuyuhun succeeds, then Tubo is likely to attack Guanzhong in large numbers next."

"What if Tuyuhun lost?"

"Songzan Gampo will also attack us."

"Isn't that the same?"

Li Tai also understood and said to Cheng Chumo: "This is different. Tubo wants to use Tuyuhun to test our weaknesses and reality. If the Tang Dynasty's troops were greatly damaged by the Turkic battle, he would definitely take this opportunity to attack."

"If Tuyuhun fails, when Songtsen Gampo comes to attack, he will only light up his fists."

"Tell us that Tubo is now very powerful, making the Tang Dynasty afraid and alert, so that Tubo can rest for many years."

"I'm sorry, I still didn't understand." Cheng Chumo nodded.

Li Zheng said, "Then I ask you, you have a crush on a girl and want to tie her up as the wife of the village, what would you do?"

"Of course I'll check out the spot first." Cheng Chu didn't have to think about it.

"That's amazing, Songtsen Gampo came to check out the spot first."

When Cheng Chumo returned to Chang'an, a group of old generals at home were discussing the matter between Yumen Pass and Tuyuhun.

Because the Cheng family had strong wine, the Duke of the State was happy to come and drink it.

Cheng Yaojin called his son and shouted: "Chumo, would you like to ask for a fight to Yumen Pass?"

"I don't want to." Cheng Chumo shook his head.

This sentence was stunned for a moment.

Cheng Yaojin asked again: "What did you just say?"

"I said I didn't want to go to Yumen Pass." Cheng Chumo said again.

If this was the first time Cheng Chumo would be the first to rush forward to ask for a fight. Cheng Yaojin also liked his son's heroic spirit and asked, "Chumo, are you eating something dirty today?"

Cheng Chumo stood aside lazily and said, "I didn't eat any dirty things. The child just felt that Tubo would not come to attack Yumen Pass."
